使用RcppArmadillo和R 3.1.3以及Mac Yosemite编译错误

Question

I have recently installed R 3.1.3. I am using a Mac with Yosemite system and my Xcode is of version 6.2.

After I source the CPP file using sourceCpp("try.cpp"), I get the following error. My try.cpp file has

#include <RcppArmadillo.h>
#include <math.h>

The error is below in R

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0/4.8.2'
ld: library not found for -lquadmath

Error 1 occurred building shared library.

WARNING: The tools required to build C++ code for R were not found.

Please install Command Line Tools for XCode (or equivalent).

I have installed the command line tools for Xcode, my gfortran version is 4.9.0 But when I type

gfortran --version

It has the following error:

 gfortran: warning: couldn’t understand kern.osversion ‘14.1.0

When I use R 3.1.2, I did not encounter this problem before!

Any help is appreciated!

After some finding I find a solution online.

If you have same problem with me, just type

curl -O http://r.research.att.com/libs/gfortran-4.8.2-darwin13.tar.bz2
sudo tar fvxz gfortran-4.8.2-darwin13.tar.bz2 -C /

on the terminal and sourceCpp can run smoothly.
